Podcasts about resting

If slowing down feels wrong but your body is begging for rest, this episode is for you. In this episode, I'm talking to the woman who has always been the go-hard achiever — the early workouts, the hustle, the I-don't-need-rest mindset.  But now your body feels like it's pushing back, and slowing down feels uncomfortable or even scary. I've been there, and I want to help you make sense of what your body is trying to say. Instead of guessing or feeling guilty,  I'm giving you a simple, practical five-question check-in to help you know whether your body needs rest or whether gentle movement will actually make you feel better. Because in a healing season, both rest and movement are powerful — it's just about choosing the right one for the day you're in.  You'll learn why the signals you're feeling are a sign of recovery, not failure. I'll walk you through what this looks like in different phases of healing — from burnout, to rebuilding, to thriving again. We'll also talk about the mental side of this: letting go of the belief that discipline only counts when you push harder.  Resting doesn't make you weak. It makes you wiser. And the more you listen to your body, the faster your energy, hormones, and confidence return.  By the end of this episode, you'll have a tool you can use anytime you're unsure of what your body needs. This is how you build trust with yourself again — one decision at a time. So take a breath, tune in, and let's help your body feel safe and strong again.  Time Stamps: (1:17) Mood Lighting(2:02) Pulling Back From Exercise(5:47) Movement and Discipline(8:14) Your Hormones Are Recalibrating(9:59) #1: How Did I Sleep Last Night?(11:57) If You're Averaging 5-6 Hours of Sleep A Night(13:12) #2: My Stress Level From 1-10(14:32) #3: How Does My Body Feel Physically?(16:00) #4: What's My Emotional State?(17:41) #5: How Do I Think I'll Feel After?(21:56) Save This One For The Future---------------------Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

There are three types of faith in Christ, struggling, clinging, andresting.  Which do you have?

Send us a textIn this week's Life of Love, Julie welcomes integrative health practitioner and high-achieving-woman, Chelsea McLeod. Together they pull back the curtain on the divine feminine, hormone health, and how to listen when your body is whispering (or screaming) for a different way.Chelsea shares her personal story of overachieving, chronic stress, a traumatic family event, and finally being diagnosed with PCOS and type 2 diabetes in her 20s — then choosing a path of true healing instead of numbing. She and Julie explore how our culture trains women to hang their worth on output, ignore their cycles, and normalize symptoms that are actually big hormonal red flags. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}You'll hear about:- Chelsea's journey from competitive athlete and corporate hustler to hormone healer- Why 4 out of 5 women may be dealing with hormonal imbalance without realizing it- Symptoms that are common **but not normal**: night waking, crazy PMS, bloating, hair loss, constipation, anxiety, feeling “fluffy,” infertility diagnoses, and more- How our industrial food system, chemicals, and seed oils quietly disrupt your hormones- The simple practice of becoming a “package turner” and reading labels with discernment- Easy daily tracking to understand your hormones:  - energy check-ins through the day  - mood swings  - sleep quality and 2–3 a.m. wakeups  - menstrual cycle patterns- How heart rate variability and resting heart rate can reflect your stress resilience- Using the phases of your cycle to guide workouts, social plans, and productivity (instead of fighting yourself)- Honoring your bleed, seeing menstruation as sacred, and bringing ritual back into everyday life- What it looks like to claim your divinity and step out of survival mode as a sovereign woman**Key Takeaways**- It's not you being “lazy” or “dramatic” — it's often your hormones trying to get your attention.  - Common symptoms are not the same as *normal*. Your body is designed to feel good.  - Healing hormones is a skill set, not a quick fix. You can learn it over time.  - Your cycle is one of your greatest superpowers once you know how to work with it.  - Resting, especially around your bleed and in your luteal phase, is not weakness — it's strategy.  - You don't have to burn yourself out to be valuable. Your divinity doesn't depend on your productivity.**Favorite Quotes**- “Women don't need more hacks, we need habits and skills.” – Chelsea  - “No, you don't ‘fix' your hormones. You *heal* your hormones.” – Julie  - “Sometimes we need to ritualize the mundane to reconnect with our feminine energy.” – Chelsea  - “No one else is going to crown you. Your divinity is yours to claim.” – Julie  If this conversation lands in your heart, that's your sign. Share it with a friend, revisit it around your next cycle, and let it be a loving reminder that you are not broken — you are divine, and your body is always speaking with you.Support the showLink to Support this Channel: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2153284/supporters/newJulie's Book: https://amzn.to/3K2ZS05Julie's Website for more information, comments or requests: https://lifeofloveandjoy.comI receive a small commission when you purchase from these links.

A remind of why rest is so important.

Join us this week as Pastor Mo shares on what it means to have a genuine relationship with God. Many Christians sincerely love God but still feel drained, stuck, or discouraged because they’ve been living out a performance-based faith instead of a relational one. We pray polished prayers, check spiritual boxes, and try to “be good Christians,” yet we hide our doubts and frustrations from the very God who invites honesty. The gospel reminds us that Jesus saved us while we were still sinners, proving that faith isn’t about perfection or earning His love. True Christianity is not performance — it’s intimacy, grace, and trusting that we are already the delight of God’s heart.(00:00) Real Christianity and the Freedom Within(14:42) Walking in Faith(23:42) The Covenant in Abraham's Sleep(30:38) Resting in God's Grace and Mercy(44:38) Connecting With City Light Church Podcasthttps://citylightnyc.com/ 

We are not built to live out of fight or flight. We are not built to live out of fear. But we have created a reality that tells us we live in fear. Thus our nervous systems are a mess. Take a listen thanks

Maybe like many you have trouble getting a good night's rest. Perhaps it's due to drinking too much coffee late in the day, or you're stressed out! There are some things that can get in the way of our sleep, and there are also some hindrances to entering into the rest of the Lord and being at peace. We'll talk about that today on a Daily Walk.

If you're struggling to take rest, perhaps it's time to pause and think about why that may be. Take a listen to learn about some tips for reducing the feeling of guilt when it comes to rest.

Biblically, the sin of not resting is seen as disobedience to God's rhythm of creation and a rejection of trust in His provision. It leads to spiritual dryness, societal injustice, and even exile.   Here's how Scripture frames this:  

Roy Fruits November 2, 2025 Awesome Jesus, Awesome Faith Stop Wrestling And Start Resting Hebrews 4:1-11

A verse by verse Bible teaching through Exodus 33 by Pastor Brock Ashley.

What if the key to effective leadership isn't working harder, but resting better? In this powerful message, Pastor Pencil vulnerably shares his own journey as a recovered workaholic to illuminate God's divine design for rest. Drawing from Mark 6, where Jesus commands his disciples to "come away... and rest for a while," he reveals how rest isn't merely a reward for hard work – it's a fundamental requirement established by God at creation. Through the acronym REST (Recognize God's design, Embrace work-rest rhythm, Set boundaries, Trust God's provision), Pastor Pencil demonstrates how rest is woven into the very fabric of creation, making it essential for sustainable leadership and spiritual vitality. He challenges the common misconception that busyness equals faithfulness, sharing how God modeled rest not from exhaustion but to establish a pattern for humanity. The message culminates in a powerful call to exchange pressure for God's peace, reminding leaders that true strength comes not from constant striving but from regular rhythms of rest and renewal in Jesus's presence. City United is challenged to evaluate their own rest patterns and trust in God's provision through intentional rest.

Spiritual rest is what we desperately need, and it's what God alone can supply! So many are trying to find it in man-made substitutes, but they're coming up empty. Today on a Daily Walk we'll notice that the Lord wants us to be at rest in Him and He's provided a finished salvation to make that possible. The plan is to cover Hebrews chapter four today with pastor John Randall. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29

Sabbath is more than just a day off, it's an invitation to trust, delight, and remember who God is. Today Dot and Cara read from Genesis 2:1–3 and trace Sabbath through Scripture to Jesus. They talk about rest as resistance to self-trust, delighting in God's gifts, and how a 24-hour rhythm can shape the other six days, whether your “delight” looks like quiet study, planting flowers, or cheering for your favorite team. Pull up a chair, grab your Bible and coffee, and lean into rest with us! Got a question about today's episode or something else you'd like to hear us talk about on the show?

In this heartfelt episode, Michal Renee dives into the fear of success and what it means to truly rest in the promise. She opens up about her personal journey of learning to sustain success through rest, consistency, and faith — not striving. Through real-time examples of how God is moving in Her Promise Circle, Michal reveals how obedience and surrender lead to expansion.She also announces two powerful new chapters in the HPC movement:

Daily Dose of Hope November 5, 2025   Scripture – John 15   Prayer:  Almighty Father, You always know what is best for us.  Thank you for that.  We are sorry for the ways that we resist.  Help us to want what you want for us.  Help us to want to be patient, to want to be kind, to want to be obedient.  Conform our will, Lord,  In Your Name, Amen.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope Church daily Bible reading plan.  As most of you know, we are right in the middle of a deep dive into the Gospels and Acts.  Today, we are deep diving into John 15.   The Scripture that we read from John 15 is incredibly powerful.  Jesus says, "I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.  He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes[a] so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me."   Jesus is talking to his followers about how to walk closely with him, essentially what it means to be a disciple.  What is a disciple? A good working definition, for our purposes, is  an apprentice, someone who wants to learn all they can from another person so they will do what they do and become like them.  To be a disciple of Jesus, that means we have to actively learn about Jesus, know him, become like him.   And this Scripture gives us a really important clue as to what it means to be a disciple of Jesus.  A disciple remains in Jesus. Older translations use the term abide. To remain or abide in Jesus means not simply to have said yes to Jesus, but to have a connection with Jesus, we are in union with him, we stay with him, we rest in him. Let's think about this. The presence of Jesus is always with us through the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus is always there, but we tend to move away from him. Jesus is saying here, remain in me. Stay close to me, stay connected to me, stay in conversation with me. How do we do this?  Well, through prayer, reading Scripture, worship, and other spiritual disciplines. If we don't pray, if we don't read the Bible, if we don't worship, we will not feel connected to Jesus. We are not remaining in him and the result will be evident. We will feel dry, parched, alone, we will start to gradually make choices that don't represent who we are in Jesus, the world will begin to seep in, gradually, so gradually sometimes that we don't even notice.   I've used the teacup example before.  If you drink tea (and use teabags), then you are either a dipper or a steeper.  If you dip that teabag in the water, you go up and down and up and down and the tea never gets that strong.  A lot of people are like that with faith.  They are dippers.  They dip into prayer and dip out of prayer.  They dip into Bible study and dip out of Bible study.  They dip into church and dip out of church.  But Jesus wants us to be steepers.  He wants us to steep in prayer, Bible study, and worship.  He wants us to soak in his presence so we are like really strong tea.   Now, part of abiding is to acknowledge that we need Jesus and are totally dependent on Jesus. Think about this---the branch is totally dependent on the vine. Without the vine, the branch is useless, lifeless, powerless. Sap flows from the vine to the branch, supplying it with water, minerals, and nutrients that make it grow. And believers receive the "sap" of Christ's grace through our life-giving connection to him. Intentionally remaining in Jesus is recognizing that we can't do this life alone. We need Jesus. I need daily, sometimes hourly, times of prayer to abide with Jesus.  How are you doing abiding in Jesus?  (Use a scale of 1 to 10 right now to assess how well you abide in Christ, 1 being not at all and 10 being totally soaking him in all the time).   Let's take a look at the next part of the Scripture, John 15:5-8, "I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.  If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.  This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples."   So we can see the other characteristic of a true disciple is producing fruit.  When we abide or remain in Jesus, then fruit should be the natural result.  Resting in Jesus makes us changed people – our attitudes are different, our behavior is different, it's noticeable.  We are more patient, more kind, more loving, more generous, more gentle; basically, we look more like Christ.  We bear fruit not by squeezing it out of ourselves but because we are extensions of the vine, pruned by the gardener.   Think about a grapevine.  I've never been very successful growing grapes in Florida but most of us have seen a grapevine at some point.  They are typically grown on a trellis.  They have to be pruned and trimmed by the gardener in order to produce new healthy branches that bear fruit.  If you don't prune, then you are going to have a lot of leafy green but it won't produce new branches that bear fruit.  It will look good but it won't produce anything.  And the point is of course, not simply to look pretty on the trellis, but to actually produce some fruit.   Of course, our purpose is not simply to look good, to look Godly or righteous, but to ACTUALLY produce fruit.  So, God may need to prune us to ensure that happens.  I used to be afraid of God's pruning, but I've found in my own life that God prunes me because he loves me. He wants to remove those things in my life that are hindering my spiritual growth.  This could mean bad habits, bad relationships, things that are toxic, generally anything that is getting in the way of me becoming the person God wants me to be. Sometimes God removes things directly (like he simply removes something from our life like a relationship or a job or you name it – think of something God removed and in retrospect, needed to remove from your life).  Other times, God convicts us so that we will make the move to remove whatever it is that is creating a wedge in our relationship with him.    Think about your relationship with God right now.   What has hindered you from bearing more fruit or bearing fruit at all?  Fears and insecurities from your past?  Selfishness? An unhealthy attachment to stuff? Unhealthy friendships, unhealthy behavior patterns?  Complacency, being too comfortable, laziness, fatigue, lack of passion? Whatever it is, acknowledge it now.  God wants better for you.  He wants to walk closely with you.  In fact, God wants HIS best for you.  He wants you to live a fruitful, abundant life.  Do you want that?  Really, do you?    Let's spend some extended time in prayer, asking God to reveal himself to us right now.   Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Jesus finished His work — and then He sat down. In this message, we're invited to live from that same posture of victory and rest. Rest isn't passivity; it's faith expressed as trust. It's the choice to stop striving, stop trying to earn what's already been won, and take our seat with Christ — resting in His finished work and reigning from His rest.

The Florida Panthers look like they're starting to get back into a groove. Even with more players dropping out of the lineup, the defending Stanley Cup champions have gone 1-1-1 in their last three games, but likely could've walked away with more points. In those games, Florida allowed just three goals at 5-on-5. On this episode, co-hosts Doug Plagens and Jameson Olive take a look as some positive trends from the team's current homestand and look ahead to Saturday's battle with Dallas. Plus, new defenseman Donovan Sebrango meets the media. Highlights include: • Panthers pick up a point vs. Ducks (0:35) • Finding the blueprint against Vegas. (9:00) • Donovan Sebrango has arrived.

In this episode, Felicia explores the transformative power of God's perfect love and its ability to cast out fear. She emphasizes the importance of understanding one's worth in God's eyes and how embracing this love can lead to healing and empowerment. Through personal anecdotes and scriptural references, she encourages listeners to invite God into their struggles, reminding them that they are loved, chosen, and enough just as they are.TakeawaysFear loses its grip when we understand God's love.Perfect love casts out fear, as stated in 1 John 4:18.We are deeply loved by a perfect Father.Fear thrives when love is misunderstood.God's love is not based on our perfection.We must invite God into our hidden places.Daily reminders of our identity in Christ are essential.Resting in God's presence helps alleviate fear.We don't have to earn God's love; it is freely given.Understanding God's love transforms how we live.

Hi sweet Caregiver, Today we deep dive into the truth about burnout, rest, and God's restoration. After last week's powerful interview with Michelle McCoy, we continue the conversation on what happens when we refuse to slow down — and how the Lord lovingly teaches us to rest. Discover the difference between external rest and true soul rest, how to identify when your stress load is too high, and simple, holistic ways to recover before burnout takes over. From journaling and grounding to stillness and solitude, this episode will help you find peace, energy, and spiritual renewal — the way God designed. If you've been running on empty, this one's for you.

In this episode, Zach and I discuss how spending time with God shapes the way we show up for people, the need to live authentically rather than chasing what's popular, and trusting in God's goodness.Quotes for Notes:“I have to be alone with God so I can be together with people.”“So many times, times where I get stuck, it is because I am trying to be somebody different. The times where I get caught up, the times where I feel a blockage, it's because I've turned into somebody who I was never called to be.”“His goodness is not defined by the world's evil.”Links:“The Circle Maker” by Mark Batterson: https://www.christianbook.com/the-circle-maker-mark-batterson/9780310346913/pd/346913?en=google&event=SHOP&kw=christian-living-0-20%7C346913&p=1179710&utm_source=google&p=1237749&dv=c&cb_src=google&cb_typ=shopping&cb_cmp=21328467087&cb_adg=167503012527&cb_kyw=&utm_medium=shopping&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21328467087&gbraid=0AAAAAD_dTHauHNbi_ru0U6ci_-8XmLwop&gclid=CjwKCAjwr8LHBhBKEiwAy47uUnCWOqnlmG1Gi-8dMmNlNAqGD93Fgm5EjQ1TP9u4TuzXBEmMBqYSoxoCDhwQAvD_BwE“Our Awesome Lord” by Frank Tunstall: https://www.amazon.com/Our-Awesome-Lord-Captivating-Pentecostal/dp/1599796090 

Are you the kind of person everyone looks at and assumes you are strong and you have it all together? You too, huh? Many of us look fine on the outside, but the human condition is often much different on the inside.Proverbs 31:25 says this of a godly woman: “She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.”As believers, we can laugh in the midst of struggle because God did not make us to have a spirit of fear. He never planned for us to suffer from depression or anxietyLook—life happens. Sometimes…many times…we are rocked by our circumstances. But God's Word says that we don't stay there. We keep our eyes on Him, and He is our strength. It's not even our job to find the strength to breathe and go about our day. It's our reliance on God—that is our job.The person who endures a cancer diagnosis isn't doing it on her own. The man or woman experiencing sudden job loss doesn't stand tall by him or herself. When Christ dwells in you, He takes the burdens and promises that in the end, we will be healed. And He will provide. That's not a guarantee that the things of this life will all work out in a positive and favorable way, but our reliance on Christ is the answer.If you look like a confident statue on the outside, but you're about to lose it on the inside, take time to tell that to Jesus. Give Him your fears and doubts.Let's pray.Lord, thank you that we're not in this alone. Your grace is sufficient for all of our needs, every day. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world! Save 15% Off your entire purchase of faith-based apparel + gifts at Kerusso.com with code KDD15.

When success feels restless, burnout recovery begins in surrender. This episode explores how to trust your path when progress feels slow — and why rest isn't stopping, but syncing with the One who began your becoming.If you've ever found yourself wondering why success still feels restless, this episode offers the spiritual recalibration your soul has been craving.In the Season Two finale of The Recalibration, Julie Holly invites high-capacity humans into a sacred exhale — a moment of burnout recovery and identity restoration through Vertical Integration: resting in alignment with the Author of Becoming.Drawing from Philippians 1:6, Romans 12:2, and 2 Corinthians 3:18, Julie reminds us that we're not self-made — we're Spirit-shaped. Real transformation doesn't happen through striving; it happens through surrender.Quoting Dr. Dan Allender (“You were created to live a story that reveals the glory of God”), she reframes your story as one being authored by love, not pressure. You'll hear why quiet seasons still count, why peace and progress can coexist, and how to live from trust instead of tension.This isn't another mindset tactic — it's Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR): the root-level shift that makes every other tool effective. You don't have to prove your growth; you can live it.Today's Micro Recalibration

Matthew 17:14-21

How divine love, surrender, and grace free us from striving and lead us to true rest.We gathered in gratitude and worship, reflecting on the beauty of God's love revealed through Christ's sufficiency. The discussion centered on the invitation to come to Jesus for rest, freedom, and transformation. Through Scripture, we explored how believers find completeness not in self-effort, but in Christ's finished work on the cross. The message emphasized salvation by grace, continual spiritual growth through faith, and the call to surrender our will to God's love. We were reminded that His love is unconditional, His Word eternal, and His yoke light—an invitation to experience intimacy and freedom in relationship with Him.Themes:True sufficiency is found in Christ alone, not in self (2 Corinthians 3:5; Philippians 4:19)“Come unto Me” is a continual call to rest in Christ's love and finished work (Matthew 11:28–30)God's love draws through conviction, not condemnation (John 6:44; John 16:8)Grace empowers holiness—never permission to sin (Romans 6:1–2)The Holy Spirit reveals truth and sustains growth (John 1:1–18; Romans 8:9)Believers must look away from distractions and fix their eyes on Jesus (Hebrews 12:2)The resurrection secures hope: all things work together for good (Romans 8:28)Salvation invites continual surrender and renewal (Philippians 2:12–13)God's love is unchanging, personal, and proven through the cross (Romans 5:8)His eternal Word anchors the believer's confidence and peace (Isaiah 40:8; John 17:17)Scripture References: Matthew 11:28–30; John 1:1–18; John 6:44; John 16:8; Romans 6:1–2; Romans 8:9, 8:28; Philippians 2:12–13; Philippians 4:19; 2 Corinthians 3:5; Hebrews 12:2; Isaiah 40:8; John 17:17Reflection Question: Am I resting in the finished work of Christ and His love, or still striving to find sufficiency in my own strength?

Motherhood is one of the greatest gifts from God, yet so many moms carry the heavy weight of guilt and shame. In this encouraging episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, I sit down with guest Jennifer Bosma, speaker and encourager of mamas, to talk about how to release mom guilt and walk in the freedom Christ offers. Jennifer shares practical, faith-filled wisdom on how to invite more of Jesus into your daily life with your children and shift your focus from the horizontal (what the world expects) to the vertical (what God calls us to). You'll leave this conversation feeling encouraged, equipped, and renewed with the truth that you don't have to do it all…and that God's grace is more than enough. If you've ever struggled with the pressure to be the “perfect mom,” this episode will give you practical tools, spiritual encouragement, and a fresh perspective on what it really means to embrace motherhood as a gift from God.

The Scriptures are full of admonitions both to fight for the Lord and his ways and to rest in the Lord. But what does that look like in everyday life? When to fight? When to rest? And even worse for everyday-Sunday believers, what to do when a syrypy-goo is poured thick over all that?! We talk through everyday realities between the poles of fighting and resting, then we also ask what it means to fight (or whether to fight) for the health of culture and sign. On the one hand we're called to be gracious (which gets corrupted to mean "we must be nice!"). On the other hand we're called to be faithful. What did seizing the problem mean for Mark as a mailman? What did seizing the problem mean for Ed as a professor? What did Dietrich Bonhoeffer have to say about what it means to be a Christian in the midst of a fracasso? Come think and laugh with us!
